How to destroy angels welcome oblivion - Buscar con Google. Glitch art & databending. I know I’m pretty late on the bandwagon, but I’ve been seeing a lot of great glitch art lately and I think it’s my new obsession (thanks to the cyberpunk forums on Reddit).

Designer Rob Sheridan did some amazing glitch art for the soundtrack of The Social Network. Check out more on his website.

The idea was inspired by the band’s live performances, in which they encourage the audience to bring along their own music box. Participants are then conducted by the duo onstage, incorporating the other pieces of music into their own.
Travelers Transfer Virtual Food Between Outdoor Ads To End Hunger [Video]
Most advertisements asking for donations are often in conflict with those asking you to buy something.

That’s why Grabarz & Partner have created a way to carry food from one ad to another – using just your smartphone. The company set up two advertisements at a bus stop – one featuring an impressive selection of food, the other a starving child. Using near-field communication, you can pick up a piece of food with your phone, and carry it over to the child in need.

The act of doing so also donates the value of that piece of food. People who make the effort to donate can share their accomplishment via Facebook, and will also receive a video from the child they helped saying thank you.

The ad was placed near a telephone booth in a busy subway station. The ad featured a woman who is about to commit suicide making a phone call. The public phone next to the ad rings in real life. If no one picks up the phone, the woman commits suicide.

iPad Backpack Helps Cyclists Communicate With Drivers. When it comes to cycling, there is nothing as important than the safety of the rider.

Designer, Soohun Jung is trying to reinvent how riders communicate with others on the road with her concept design, iBackpack.
